Umping the Generation Gap and Finding Garage Treasures!

Last Wednesday, June 18th, Grandma Pat and Grandpa Denny came north to watch Austin play basketball at Clayton, and then drove over to Cameron to see Andrew play baseball. Cameron's second umpire failed to show up for the game, so Grandpa Denny offered his expert umpire services and umped the bases for the entire game! He did a great job, and only made one mistake in the whole game. That mistake was made when Andrew slid into second base and was safe at second, then proceded to stand up and took his foot off the base without calling "time out". The Cameron second-baseman actually had the tag on Andrew during the time Andrew stood up, even though Andrew was originally safe at second, so, technically, Andrew should have been called out when he lifted his foot! But Gramps was looking out for Andrew, and he let that one slide!!! :-)

(Just Kidding, Grandpa!!! He says he didn't see him lift his foot/didn't know the rules, and we all believe him!!!)

Here is Grandpa umping down first base line. Now he has umped/refed for a game for the Fylling's, Borowski's, and the Klimek's!!!

Thanks, Grandpa Denny!

When Abby and I were in Nelson this past weekend, the girls (Abby, Emily, and Morgan) found a hidden treasure in the attic of the garage!

Here they are sporting the old Artic Cat snowmobile suits from the 70's!!!

Emily and Morgan are wearing Sheila and Sheri's old snowmobile suits, while Abby is wearing Grandma Pat's suit!

Below, Abby found Uncle Woody's old snowsuit and tried that one on for size!!!

I thought the girls were either very brave or very stupid to try on those suits that had been stored in the garage for who knows how many years (over 20 years, at least)--who knows what creature or creatures could have been living in the arm and leg holes!!!
